NETWORK Update
1. In 1996 the founding members hand picked a few homeless boys from the streets
of Lagos to join a program with a sponsored by a leading Auto-mobile service
company to train to become mechanics. Two became successful and today they are
qualified technicians in one of the world's most successful brands. They have
their own family and care well for them thanks to the Boyz- Network initiative.
We liaise with business organizations, governmental organizations and private
individuals to organize structured and well monitored educational and community
building programs such as the above.
2. Recently we have been working with an N.G.O. in Helsinki, Finland to promote
inter-cultural relationship as well as sponsorships for youth programs. This has
proved very successful with great interests from the Private sectors and
Government sectors.
Already in its third year running, the achievement in Finland has brought
together various cultural groups together.
In London, we featured with a student run organization to promote African
culture, support of black communities in social cultural issues such as crime
among black youths in London, more Job opportunities for Africans and
Afro-Caribbean, Teenage Pregnancies and many more. Speakers from several works
of life attended to treat these topics and how the blacks could cope and improve
their lives.
We continue to strive for the best in our people and are open to help and
suggestions from well meaning people in our societies.
3. In October 2008, we celebrated in a unique and special way " NIGERIA" tagged
the Green and White Party in Helsinki, Finland. The event which was not poorly
publicized, took the entire black community by surprise. It was an unprecedented
achievement from a few set of Nigerians coming together and producing an
unforgettable result.
Excerpt of the event publication from the Guardian newspaper in Nigeria can be
read from the Event link.
4. Now, October 2nd 2009 here in Helsinki, it will be happening live at the Multicultural center "CAISA".
We will be featuring one of our own "Ebunoluwa Kivinen" a prolific artist of our time, Uptown boys "Flowstatic",
Live stage drama, "DUPE Girls" as well as many other lineup event of the day.
